Earth Day was this past Saturday April 22, 2023 and while Earth Day is once a year, it’s a reminder that it should be celebrated everyday! One way to support this beautiful planet we live on is through the food we eat. Asking ourselves, “Is it sustainable?” is an increasingly important question being asked when it comes to agriculture and how we eat.
